- Fabulous guiding service from Ganesh Adhikari
Ganesh of Ace Vision was our guide and sirdar for two bag carriers for a 12 day trip to Everest base camp. Our party was two fathers and young adult sons. Since the two fathers had themselves together completed the EBC 20 previously we had some sense of the journey and realistic expectations. I mention this since we knew the questions to ask of Ganesh before we started, as well as during our trek, and never once found him anything but authentic, honest, accurate and honoring of our hopes and aspirations for this trek with our sons.
Ganesh selected the accommodations based on the characteristics we gave, and he never failed to satisfy in this regard. He was available to us to provide counsel, suggestions and directions ~ but knew when to melt away and take care of his own interests when our party had 'family-time.' This last issue is of consequence particularly to those who seek a mountain guide who understands the need for each client to feel that they have independently mastered every step of the way.
Ganesh took care of all of the practicalities, such as permits, helpers and accommodations choices ... and this was flawless.
We have already determined that a circuit of Annapurna, with the help of Ganesh, is in out future for 2019.
I recommend Ganesh unreservedly. You'll not be disappointed.Caven MUnited States,September 17, 2018 - Excellent guide, amazing experience
We had Ganesh guide us on a 3 day trek near Kathmandu and it was a trip I'll never forget. Ganesh was the perfect guide in every aspect. He suited the trip to our needs and personality, had an enormous amount of knowledge to share, and was so friendly and easy going. He knew all the right spots and the views were truly breathtaking! He made the trip perfect for us and I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.
Gene WAustralia,August 30, 2018 - Best Guide in Nepal!
Last year we undertook a 14-day Annapurna Circuit trek with our guide and new friend Ganesh. It was amazing! We were put in touch with Ganesh whilst staying at in Kathmandu and couldn't have been happier with the service provided. He tailored the trek to suit our timescale and organized the permits and transport from start to finish.
Ganesh was great and not only guided our route but answered all our many questions, taught us about the culture, religions, and traditions of Nepal, identified local plants and animals, and was a really fun person to be around. We couldn't recommend Ganesh more highly, he was honest, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable and has made our trip to Nepal a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Don't look any further for a reliable, well-priced, and honest guide! Thank you Ganesh for an amazing adventure. We'll be back!coxyjrUnited Kingdom,July 11, 2018 - Watch out...you will have a new friend! :)
We did the Annapurna Circuit as our first trek ever. On top of that, there was the monsoon season. So we decided to go with a guide... Ganesh!
He was absolutely wonderful. He planned everything in advance, picked the best places to rest, and taught us a lot about the culture, food, plants, mountains, and card games! But most important he made us fall in love with trekking! Thank you Ganesh for everything. For your laugh, knowledge, and help along the trek. You knew when it was time to rest, how to take care of my blisters, and gave us the time of our lives!!StellaBoumansNetherlands,July 07, 2018 - Manaslu Trek
This is the experience of a lifetime! We did three weeks on the "Manaslu Circuit" with Ganesh and he blew us away. He had everything planned in advance with absolutely no hiccups (all planned over email prior to arrival) - from picking us up at the airport to planning our hotel stay and all of our permits and jeep transportation was spot on!
Ganesh was a tremendous resource for us on our trek, answering all of our crazy questions and sharing so much interesting knowledge we would have never known if it weren't for him. He taught us local Nepali card games and local phrases and was excellent at spotting wildlife and different plants we had never seen before. Most importantly his positive attitude and encouragement were so much appreciated on our long days when our legs were getting tired and backs were sore. Everything you could ever ask for in a guide. I cannot recommend him enough.
THANK YOU, Ganesh!!

I completed the EBC trek with Ganesh, and I could not recommend him enough!
As a solo trekker, it was just me and Ganesh. Reading the other reviews from other users, you will see consistent praise for what Ganesh brings to your EBC experience. He is a professional who takes his job very seriously, with deep intimate knowledge of the mountains and its trails, and also takes his classes and certifications seriously to ensure he is able to prevent altitude sickness. I bring this up as many other trekkers I ran into experienced altitude sickness (and some had to be evacuated), while I was able to complete the trek without even a headache. Not only is he a professional, but he's humorous, amiable, friendly, etc. just an all-around amazing guy and companion to have on the trek! He adjusts the trek's pace according to your ability, and we actually finished a few days early. At the end of the trip, Ganesh felt more like a brother to me than a guide.

Ganesh is more than a guide.
He is a representing is country with his knowledge smile and enthusiasm.
He is a friend who will always have a nice word and help.
He is a magician that transformed what was supposed to be a trek into a life experience.
Thanks Mate! Hope to see you soon with Uncle for another adventure!Dimitri DUnited Kingdom,June 23, 2018 - Perfect guide for the 17-day Three Passes Trek
Ganesh guided me and two friends through a grueling (although not for Ganesh) 17-day trek through the three passes of the Everest region, past 18,000 feet, through all our complaints, sicknesses, and detours. He was reliable, accommodating, and extremely resourceful.
He started by meeting us days prior to the trek, giving us an overview of Kathmandu, and even providing useful tips about safety, getting money, traveling etc. He was very up front about costs and expectations, and from the day we got on the mountain, stuck by our side and was super proactive about monitoring our health, talking to us about the plan, and even modifying the trek based on weather and safety information. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and knew a wide network of guides, locals, and business owners which improved our trip.
Would absolutely go with this company again for our next trek in the Everest region.Will SUnited States,June 17, 2018
